With this year’s Awesome Games Done Quick (and its impressive Elden Ring sax attacks) officially over, preparations are underway for Games Done Quick’s Frost Fatales charity speedrunning event, and organizers have now revealed their full schedule through March.
Frost Fatales, if you’re unfamiliar, is the annual winter version of Games Done Quick’s all-female speedrunning charity event (Flame Fatales is its warmer summer equivalent), and this year’s week-long extravaganza is taking place at from March 9 to 16.
More specifically, things kick off at 5pm BST on Sunday 9 March with a Cuphead Any% No Major Glitches speedrun hosted by Vicky_spleen. Seven days and over 60 speedruns later, it all concludes with a one-handed Celeste Any% speedrun by SawaYoshi, at 3:23 am on March 16. And amongst all that, there’s a tantalizingly varied selection of other games to look forward to, ranging from blockbusters and retro classics to indie favorites and left-field oddities.
A quick look at the newly released calendar reveals, for example, games like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Cult of the Lamb, DuckTales: Remastered, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, Clock Tower 3, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team , Hylics and more, as well as a Final Fantasy X-2 three-way race with female characters.
Frost Fatales 2025 is raising money for the National Women’s Law Center, an American nonprofit that fights for women’s and LGBTQ rights through initiatives that change laws, policies, and culture. And if all this left you intrigued, you can watch the event live on Twitch.
